In the highly competitive sports arena of today, the training
relationship between trainee and trainer is crucial to good
performance. The record -breaking wins of Mainland China''''''''s 馬
家 athletes have sparked interest in the old system of Chinese
Motor-Apprentice system. Even in Taiwan, athletes such as王惠
珍, 徐佩菁 are under this system, due to the freedoms it
provides. But the Mentor-Apprenticeship system isn''''''''t a
legitimate format, therefore I propose a new format to improve
on the weak points of 3 level coach training and raising the
efficiency of training. This study utilizes questionnaire
survey, literature survey, & in depth interview, to reveal the
obstacles and dilemmas facing coaches & athletes under the
current system. Results are as follows : 1. Kuo-shu athletes &
coaches favor the M-A system of training. 2. Most Kuo-shu
athletes & coaches favor apprenticeship and the ceremonies and
responsibilities that it entails. 3. Individual sports
athletes & coaches are receptive towards the M-A system. 4.
Team sports athletes & coaches are more receptive to school &
national team training formats. 5. The longer one has learned
martial arts the people favor the M-A system. 6. National team
athletes favor the M-A system. In Short, the Mentor-
Apprenticeship system is built on a relationship of mutual
understanding and not involuntary obedience. It is evolved over
a long period of training and interaction. Because both parties
are willing to devote themselves to work towards a common goal,
they develop a sense of teamwork. It is suitable for individual
& subjective sports. But there must be a clear understanding
toward financial arrangements, to prevent souring of the
relationship and misunderstanding.
